Answer:

<em>Frequency of light = 5454.5 GHz</em>

<em>Refractive index = 1.46</em>

<em>speed of light in quartz =</em> <em>2.05 x 10^8 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The wavelength of the light λ = 550 nm = 550 x 10^-9 m

frequency = ?

Frequency of light f = c/λ

where

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

substituting, we have

f = (3 x 10^8)/(550 x 10^-9)

frequency f = 5.4545 x 10^14 Hz

==> <em>5454.5 GHz</em>

<em></em>

The relationship between refractive index is given as

n1 sinθ1 = n2 sinθ2

where

n1 is the refractive index of air = 1

θ1 is the angle of incidence = (90 -70) = 20°

θ2 is the angle of refraction = (90 - 76.46) = 13.54°

n2 is the refractive index of quartz

substituting values, we have

1 x sin 20 = n2 x sin 13.54

0.3420 = n2 x 0.2341

refractive index of quartz n2 = 0.3420/0.2341 = <em>1.46</em>

From n = c/v

where

n is the refractive index of quartz

c is the speed of light in air = 3 x 10^8 m/s

v is the speed of light in quartz = ?

substituting values, we have

1.46 = (3 x 10^8)/v

v = (3 x 10^8)/1.46 = <em>2.05 x 10^8 m/s</em>

If an element has 7 electrons how many of them will be in the 2nd energy level

inna [77]

Well first you can not go to the 2nd energy level without the first so the first takes up 2 electrons leaving you 5 electrons and the recommended amount is 8 electrons so you would have 5 electrons left

Six automobiles are initially traveling at the indicated velocities. The automobiles have different masses and velocities. The d

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Part a)

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Part b)

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Part c)

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Explanation:

Red car

mass = 1000 kg

speed = 10 m/s

Yellow car

mass = 2000 kg

speed = 5 m/s

Blue car

mass = 500 kg

speed = 20 m/s

Light Blue car

mass = 1000 kg

speed = 20 m/s

Green car

mass = 500 kg

speed = 10 m/s

Purple car

mass = 4000 kg

speed = 5 m/s

Part a)

Now we know that momentum of each car is product of mass and velocity

so we will have

Red Car

$P_1 = m v$

$P_1 = (1000)(10)$

$P_1 = 10^4 kg m/s$

Yellow Car

$P_2 = m v$

$P_2 = (2000)(5)$

$P_2 = 10^4 kg m/s$

Blue Car

$P_3 = m v$

$P_3 = (500)(20)$

$P_3 = 10^4 kg m/s$

Light Blue Car

$P_4 = m v$

$P_4 = (1000)(20)$

$P_4 = 2\times 10^4 kg m/s$

Green Car

$P_5 = m v$

$P_5 = (500)(10)$

$P_5 = 5 \times 10^3 kg m/s$

Purple Car

$P_6 = m v$

$P_6 = (4000)(5)$

$P_6 = 2\times 10^4 kg m/s$

So the momentum is given as

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Part b)

Impulse is given as change in momentum so here we can say that final momentum of all the cars will be zero as they all stops and hence the impulse is same as initial momentum of the car

so the order of impulse from largest to least is given as

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Part c)

Force is defined as rate of change in momentum

Now let say all cars will stop in same time interval

so we will have

$Force = \frac{impulse}{time}$

so we will have

force is in same order as that of impulse

so it is given as

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Suppose that the metal cylinder in the last problem has a mass of 0.10 kg and the coefficient of static friction between the sur

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The speed maximum speed is $0.49ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

The centrifugal force always acts on the cylinder and move away the rotating platform from the rotational axis. so the centripetal force provide by the frictional force:

Therefore

$\frac{mv^{2} }{r} =u_{s} mg$

coefficient of static friction: $u_{s} =0.12$

mass of the cylinder: $m=0.10kg$ \

distance of the cylinder from the turntable: $r=0.20m$

$\frac{mv^{2} }{r} =u_{s} mg$

cross multiply to find v

$v^{2} =u_{s} rg\\v=\sqrt{u_{s}rg } \\v=\sqrt{0.12*0.20*9.80}\\ v=0.49m/s$

a pool ball leaves a 0.60 meter high table with an initial high table with an initial horizontal velocity of 2.4m/s. predict the

timurjin [86]

Ball leaves the table of height 0.60 m

Initial speed of the ball is in horizontal direction which is 2.4 m/s

Now here we can say that time taken by the ball to hit the ground will be given by kinematics equation in vertical direction

$\Delta y = v_y*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

here in y direction we can say

$\Delta y = 0.60 m$

$v_y = 0$

$a = 9.8 m/s^2$ due to gravity

now from above equation we have

$0.60 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2$

$t = 0.35 s$

Now in the same time the distance that ball move in horizontal direction is given as

$d = v_x* t$

given that

$v_x = 2.4 m/s$

$d = 2.4 * 0.35$

$d = 0.84 m$

So it will move a total distance of 0.84 m where it will land

What is an involuntary and a voluntary muscle action?

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Involuntary muscle action are muscles that move WITHOUT conscious control, and voluntary muscle action are muscles that move WITH conscious control.

Explanation:

A example of a involuntary muscle action would be your heart. Your heart is a muscle beats without you thinking about it and is very vital to your body. A example of a voluntary muscle would be the muscles that are attached to your bones and allow you to move your body, and it's voluntary because your body won't move on it's own.

Hope this helps.
